Chapter 62: Happy to be a father
Li Siwen!
Li Mu couldn't believe his eyes, just now he was still thinking about Li Siwen, and in a blink of an eye, Li Siwen appeared.
"How did you get back!"
Li Muxi was overjoyed, strode in front of Li Siwen, and looked up and down, this kid has grown tall, black, and strong. The brothers hugged each other heavily, and Li Siwen smiled and said, "Brother, do I have to call you Master Hou now." ”
"Don't fool around." Li Mu let go of Li Siwen and said, "When did you come back, did Your Majesty summon you back?" ”
"I arrived at noon and just went to see a Marseille ......"
Li Mu's face suddenly darkened, this kid really didn't change his nature, he returned to Chang'an, didn't go home, didn't come to himself, he went to see a Marseille first.
The two of them walked into the courtyard, and Li Siwen said with some excitement: "Brother, I heard that you and Cheng Yanjin worked together on this business?" What are you cooperating with him, that old man is the most unreasonable, when I was a child, I fought with Cheng Chumo and them, this old thing saw it and kicked me, I couldn't beat them in the first place, he didn't respect the old man......"
"How do you speak, no matter how you say it, you are an elder, be cautious."
"He can't listen to it......" Li Siwen suddenly caught a glimpse of Li Chongyi, and his eyes widened suddenly, and said: "I thought my sister-in-law was joking with me just now, but I didn't expect it to be true, there are really people who are eight feet tall in this world, my God, this axe must be a hundred catties, bigger than Cheng Jin's axe......" Li Siwen pinched Li Chongyi's arm, smacked his mouth with envy, and said: "Big man, I am the brother of your master, my name is Li Siwen, what is your name?" ”
"My name is Li Chongyi." Li Chongyi followed Li Mu for a long time, and when he had nothing to chat, he also heard him mention Li Siwen, and knew that he and Li Mu were born and died.
"Wow......" Li Siwen sighed, looked at Li Mu, and said, "Brother, you really do what you say, with such a talent, you must have unified Chang'an, right?" ”
"Huh?"
"Didn't you beat them?"
Li Mu smiled dumbly, he didn't expect Li Siwen to remember this incident. That was when the two of them were still in Dingxiang, Li Mu didn't know anything about Chang'an, and everything he heard was what Li Siwen said. Li Siwen was originally a young master, how high can he know something, either the young master of this family beat him, or he beat the young master of someone's family, to put it mildly, this is the matter. Li Mu told him a story when he was fine, and when he said that if he had a chance in the future, he would definitely entangle a group of people to subdue them all, Li Siwen listened to it with enthusiasm, but it was just when he was repairing the city wall, and he was just having fun in the bitterness, how could he really do it.
"You didn't provoke me, why did I beat people, but you, after asking you for so long, you didn't say why you came back. Don't you sneak back, right, if Your Majesty knows, you won't be sent to prison? ”
"Brother, you look down on me too much."
The two of them came to the lobby, found a chair and sat down, Li Siwen took out a fold from his arms and threw it to Li Mu, and said, "Look at what this is?" ”
Li Mu opened the fold and couldn't help but be very surprised, this is a will to be promoted, the imperial court plans to set up a Zhechong Mansion in Dingxiang, and promoted Li Siwen from the seventh rank to the fifth rank of the Zhechong captain, commanding 1,200 people, and taking charge of the defense of the surrounding four counties. At the same time, Li Siwen was named the founding county of the founding county and the fief of Xiangxiang because of his meritorious service in defending the land, reassuring the people, and building the city, and he was also a person with a knighthood from then on.
It stands to reason that fiefdoms and conferral officials will not be in the same place. Although it is not explicitly stated, it has always been done. Because if the fiefdom and the conferral are all in one place, it is equivalent to handing over the military and political affairs to one person, and once the military and political affairs are grasped, it is easy to cultivate a soil emperor, and its hidden worries are even worse than that of the gate valve. Now Li Shimin has made such a will, in addition to rewarding Li Siwen, it is also to show his trust in Li Ji. If Li Siwen was not the son of Li Ji, he would definitely not have received such an honor.
"Brother, although the younger brother is not as good as you, he is not much worse. At my age, I don't rely on my parents, and I can fight out a school captain by myself, how many can there be? Cheng Chumo is powerful enough, he is far inferior to him compared to the bow horse, but isn't he just a Guoyi captain? It's just six grades, I think I will dare to be rampant when I see him in the future? If you don't call me a general, I'll rule him by law! ”
Li Mu had a headache when he heard this, and said, "You are also a knight, can't you be more mature?" Cheng Chumo is not under your account, you can't control him. ”
"It's ......" Li Siwen sighed, seemed to be quite disappointed, and suddenly his eyes lit up again, and said, "I can tell my father, don't you just send him to me?" ”
Li Mu didn't speak, just looked at him.
"No, no, no, Dad can't listen to me."
Li Mu returned the fold to Li Siwen and asked, "Have you returned home?" ”
"Uh......" Hearing the word 'go home', Li Siwen showed embarrassment, Li Mu saw him like this, he knew that something was wrong, and asked: "What's going on, don't you tell me the truth?" ”
"Oops...... Actually, it's nothing, it's just ...... Even when I received the will, I also received a letter from my father, saying that he told me a family affair and made me marry......" Li Siwen drooped his head, pinched the corners of his clothes, and twisted: "I don't want to marry yet." ”
"Huh? Is there anything else like this? Li Mu said with a smile: "I've been busy these days, and I haven't seen my father-in-law for many days, so I don't even know about it." I remember that you said that you were going to marry His Majesty's daughter, what, did you do it? ”
"Oh, isn't this a knighthood, my father means that since he has already won the title of knighthood, it is not good to get an inch again, I think so too. It's so boring to be a horse, you have to serve the princess, it's better to lead the troops outside at ease, and I finally built Dingxiang City, if I give it away, I feel reluctant. But I ...... married in such a hurry."
Li Mu's eyes were like torches, staring at Li Siwen for a while, and said, "Something is wrong, there must be something else, you can recruit it from the truth." ”
"No ......" Li Siwen still wanted to deny it, but was glared at by Li Mu, and suddenly softened, and said with a bitter face: "Brother, you have to help me!" ”
"I know that you kid has a problem, hurry up and say it, if you don't say it, how can I help you?"
"Actually, it's nothing ......" Li Siwen cleared his throat, trying to speak as softly as possible, but he still didn't dare to look at Li Mu's eyes, and said, "I, I'm not taking in the homeless."
"yes, what's wrong?"
"There was a Turkic woman ......"
As soon as he heard this, Li Mu knew in his heart and said, "You shouldn't ......?"
"Brother, Nazha is really pitiful!" Li Siwen rushed over and hugged Li Mu's thigh, and said: "Her father died when she was very young, and she depended on her mother for her life, and she suffered from the war again, and the tribe was gone, and she came out of the desert with her mother, and her mother also starved to death." In order to beg for a bite to eat, she sold herself into slavery on the side of the road, and when I found her, there was a rich family in Mayi who wanted to take her home as a concubine, and I couldn't bear it, so I asked her if she would like to go with me, so she followed me, at first only as a maid, and then ...... Just ......"
"Hey......" What can Li Muneng say about this kind of thing, there are too many things to sell yourself into slavery. Li Siwen is also a half-grown child, at the age of hot-blooded Fang Gang, it is really normal for something to happen.
Seeing that Li Mu didn't say anything, Li Siwen gritted his teeth and said, "She has been pregnant for two months......"
"You!" Li Mu's head buzzed, this kid is too ...... It's a little bit awesome. What can this do, if you just accept a concubine, Li Mu will help you say a few words, and maybe you can still fool the past, but now Li Siwen is back to get married, and the people who can marry the Cao Guogong Mansion are definitely not idle people. This hasn't passed the door yet, you got a pregnant concubine, and after passing the door, you will directly coax the child, or mixed-race, which is difficult for anyone to accept.
Li Mu could think that if Li Siwen told Li Ji about this, not to mention that he would have to be beaten fat, even this mother and son would probably not be able to live. The big wedding is just around the corner, and for the sake of face, Li Ji must not let this kind of thing happen.
Li Siwen's voice became smaller and smaller: "I brought her back...... Talking to my sister-in-law in the backyard. ”
“……”
Li Mu pointed at Li Siwen, he was really going to be stunned, this kid was too bold, he even brought people back, isn't this looking for death!
"Brother......
"You get up first!" Li Mu yelled angrily, Li Siwen let go of Li Mu's leg and stood up obediently. Li Mu glared at him, and then he understood, it turned out that this kid had been gagging and talking about it since they met, and it turned out that it was because of this!
"Let's hide it first, and then talk about it. But you must succeed in this kiss, if you run away from marriage, not only will you harm yourself, but also the lives of their mother and son! ”
"Brother, I have never met the person I told my father about......"
"No way!" Li Mu said solemnly: "It's not okay to say that the sky is broken, this matter is originally your fault, you yourself know that you can't be the master of your marriage, you must have this kind of preparation in your heart, now fortunately it is not the princess who marries, if the princess marries, you are the crime of bullying the king, the stakes in this, do you want me to tell you?" ”
"I know, brother, you must help me."
"Help, who made me hit my head on the ground with you." Li Mu only felt that his brain was a mess now, and said, "Okay, let's prepare to eat first, I want to think about it." ”
"Brother, I'm sorry."
Li Mu glanced at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I really want to tear your mouth now." ”
"Oh......" Li Siwen pursed his lips and was silent.
